ABSTRACT:
A magnetoresistance effect element includes a first ferromagnetic layer, insulating layer overlying the first ferromagnetic layer, and second ferromagnetic layer overlying the insulating layer. The insulating layer has formed a through hole having an opening width not larger than 20 nm, and the first and second ferromagnetic layers are connected to each other via the through hole.
